@cfleming a request on Cursive’s “read-only REPL”: please don’t mode me in while Clojure is starting up, it creates an attention dependency - I have to watch the REPL until I can paste or start typing the command I’m going to run. Instead of moding the user in, show an indicator or mute the text I’m typing so I can see the REPL isn’t up yet

cfleming10:10:11

It’s a tricky problem since REPLs can take so long to start.

cfleming10:10:23

I’m planning to fix that issue soon as part of a general overhaul of the REPL UI.

cfleming10:10:55

Ideally I’d let the user type commands, but in the output pane show them dimmed or something to show that they haven’t been sent yet.

cfleming10:10:21

So then your options would be: never focus the REPL, or focus it right at the start, allow commands to be entered but not executed until the REPL is fully started.

Hi, I am using clara rules which uses macros for handling rule definitions. In this there is an implicit declaration of a variable within the rule of the format ?name this strings are always shown as not being referenced. Is the any way to either switch these warnings off or make them actually check

zylox15:10:29

You can turn off all of the warnings, but otherwise no, not that i know of

zylox15:10:43

clara isn't yet supported by cursives macro resolution library.

zylox15:10:49

and it can get pretty rough.

cfleming19:10:05

@zylox @mmer I’m planning to start work on macro specs for clara next week, so hopefully support will be soon.

Fantastic, It would make life easier to get the rules right.
